Chapter 423: Chapter 4: Best Friend (Part 4)

Thanks to fellow “Heart as vast as the sea” for the reward, muah~

*****************************

Li Shuning used the Qiankun Ring to gradually fill up the basement.

After that, she also filled up the storage room.

Occasionally, she went out shopping with her “good friend” Zhang Yuanyuan, and the days passed quite quickly. However, the day of her mother’s accident was drawing near.

Since she had arrived in this world, she naturally couldn’t let such a thing happen again.

Moreover, if Zhao Qimeng remained alive, that Zhang Yuanyuan’s chances would be even slimmer.

Li Shuning had a good night’s sleep and got up early, waiting in the dining room.

Before long, Zhao Qimeng came down, having groomed herself slightly and looking even more beautiful.

“Mom, you’re all dressed so beautifully. Are you heading to Aunt Jin’s wedding?”

“Yes, your Aunt Jin has had it tough. She married someone back then and was quite tormented, but now she’s finally found her happiness, and I must bless her.”

“Mom, why don’t I go with you?”

“Sure, your Aunt Jin is very fond of you.”

The two got in the car together. The driver was a bit surprised to see the young lady joining the madam, but then smoothly drove off.

Li Shuning’s spiritual power was already in full operation.

Her spiritual power first carefully checked the car’s condition. In the plot, Zhao Qimeng died in a car accident, but no matter how much it was investigated, the cause of the accident was never found out.

The car seemed fine.

When getting in earlier, the driver seemed to have an emotional fluctuation. Although he tried to control it, Li Shuning still noticed some twitching on his face.

The driver seemed a bit nervous, especially when he saw her also coming along.

So why was he nervous?

Li Shuning’s spiritual power not only enveloped the entire car but also split into two strands: one enveloped her and her mother, and the other investigated the surrounding situation.

After driving for more than half an hour, they were about to reach the place where the accident was supposed to happen according to the plot.

At this moment, the driver suddenly said, “Madam, Miss, I need to stop urgently for a bathroom break, sorry.”

Zhao Qimeng merely nodded.

But Li Shuning noticed that before getting off, the driver turned on the air conditioning.

In this season, it was neither cold nor hot, and there was no need for air conditioning.

After the driver got off, Li Shuning opened the window and said, “Mom, the view over there looks nice, why don’t we get out and take a look?”

Zhao Qimeng was a bit astonished, but she never knew how to refuse her daughter’s requests.

In the plot, the driver also had an accident together.

Li Shuning took Zhao Qimeng out of the car.

However, with a flick of her spiritual power, once they exited the car, no one would see them, and Li Shuning set up an Illusion Realm inside the car. Anyone looking would still see people inside.

Li Shuning and Zhao Qimeng spent some time enjoying the roadside scenery. The air was fresh, and a clear river flowed beside the road – indeed a nice view.

After the driver returned to the car, Li Shuning noticed that the car started up and drove away. It turned out the driver wasn’t actually in urgent need of the restroom but was making a phone call. He only said that the young lady was with them and then said nothing else. Li Shuning’s spiritual power was strong, and naturally, she heard a male voice on the other end saying to cancel the action.

“Oh dear, Mom, did Uncle Li drive off the car? Didn’t he notice we weren’t in the car?”

Li Shuning saw there were quite a few cars on the road; she waved one down, and some car was willing to take them to the wedding site.

They safely arrived at the venue.

However, strangely enough, Li Shuning found her family’s car parked properly in the parking lot at the venue.

What exactly happened?

Because Li Shuning had set up an Illusion Array inside, the driver probably thought the people were still in the car.

“Mom, Uncle Li has been with our family for many years; he probably just didn’t notice. Let’s pretend nothing happened to save him the embarrassment.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to my daughter. My daughter is becoming more considerate.”

They attended the wedding without any incidents.

Li Shuning speculated that whoever wanted Zhao Qimeng dead was probably disturbed by her presence, and that’s a problem. They’re likely to strike again.

Li Shuning was a bit annoyed, regretting not setting it up like that. She should have just secretly followed the car, as there would have been traces to find once the opponent made a move.

She had only thought about staying close to her mother to prevent accidents, but now it seemed it wasn’t an accident but something intentionally arranged.

But how did that person manage to make the driver have an accident too?

Li Shuning became more vigilant.

Sure enough, there were several incidents involving Zhao Qimeng afterward, but fortunately, Li Shuning was always there.

After all, Zhao Qimeng rarely went out and spent most of her time at home.

As long as Zhao Qimeng was going out, Li Shuning followed.

However, a few incidents made Li Shuning notice something. Upon investigation, she indeed found out some things.

It seemed the Zhao Family was involved.

Zhao Qimeng had a sister named Zhao Yunmeng who was very jealous of her and had some ideas about her brother-in-law.

So Zhao Yunmeng manipulated people from the Zhao Family who initially followed Zhao Qimeng by controlling their vital points and instructing them to harm Zhao Qimeng.

However, the first time, Zhao Yunmeng didn’t dare to take action because Li Shuning was present, and after all, Li Shuning was a member of the Li Family.

The plot didn’t describe the Zhao Family much. In the plot Li Shuning received, there was no mention of the Zhao Family, which surprised Li Shuning.

She asked 006, but 006 couldn’t find the reason either.

Li Shuning threw the gathered information in front of the Zhao Family members.

Even though they were her maternal family, they were trying to harm her mother, so there was no need for politeness.

The Zhao Family members’ faces didn’t look good either.

Later, Li Shuning found out that the Zhao Family directly locked Zhao Yunmeng up and announced to the outside world that she was mentally ill.

In reality, Zhao Yunmeng was fine, but she was given double the medication for mental illness, and soon she became truly delusional.

Li Shuning had no fondness for the Zhao Family.

She didn’t want to tell Zhao Qimeng about this to spare her any grief.

However, when she learned that someone from the Zhao Family was looking for Zhao Qimeng, Li Shuning was speechless.

The one who came looking for Zhao Qimeng was the original owner’s grandmother.

She kept saying that the Li Family had driven Zhao Yunmeng to death just because she fell in love with her brother-in-law and so forth.

Li Shuning knew well what kind of temperament this mother had, so she went in directly.

“Grandma, should I tell the whole story, about what you did to my aunt? Double medication, and now coming here to gossip in front of my mother? Do you really think the Li Family is easy to bully?”

Li Shuning’s aura startled the grandmother, who immediately leaped up and left.

Seeing Zhao Qimeng’s worried gaze, Li Shuning smiled reassuringly and told her the whole story.

Zhao Qimeng sighed and didn’t say anything.
